Inspired by the collection of medals of the kings of France commissioned by de Launay, whose dies had been engraved by Thomas Bernard in the 18th century, Armand Auguste Caqué, commissioned by Madame La Dauphine, created the famous “Numismatic Gallery of the Kings of France,” a set of 73 medals that was exhibited at the Salon from 1836 to 1839
